"Brand New For China!" by Cactus Truck is a fiercely intense debut, blending free jazz with punk energy and noise. The Amsterdam-based trio delivers raw, high-velocity improvisations across tracks that range from explosive outbursts to muscular, dynamic interplay, marking the album as a standout in avant-garde jazz.

"Brand New For China!" is the explosive debut album by Cactus Truck, a high-energy improvisational trio based in Amsterdam featuring John Dikeman (saxophones), Jasper Stadhouders (guitar, bass), and Onno Govaert (drums). Released in March 2012 on Public Eyesore Records, the album delivers a relentless sonic assault that draws from free jazz, punk, delta blues, Japanese noise, and no wave. The music is characterized by its physical intensity, raw aggression, and a take-no-prisoners approach to improvisation, with each performance pushing the musicians to their limits. Tracks range from explosive, extended pieces like "Aporia" to furious, compact bursts of energy such as "Search and Restore" and "Plork," embodying both virtuosity and a punk aesthetic. The album has been praised for its uncompromising sound, technical prowess, and its position as a landmark in Dutch improvised music
